HERE,S THE REAL DEAL ON FOOD STAMPS

The government doesn,t provide education on the purchase of food. I was on Food Stamps about 10 years ago before I grew up and became a Man.

I would do all the shopping and they gave us over 350 dollars a month for food. OMG. I saved over 1,000 in food stamps in 5 months. For Me, My Girlfriend

and our daughter we used only about 130 dollars a month. This was 10 years ago. Now they hand out almost double that for a family of 3.

I was on break from school yesterday and went into a 7-11 to buy gas and there was this girl in there using her food stamp car to buy cookies and

a starbucks coffe. That really pissed me off.

What a Broken System.

Around here, people can use their food stamps to buy energy drinks. This is not what the government had in mind.

Also, I don't think pop should be purchased with food stamps. It's not healthy--especially for kids. However, I buy pop myself so I am a bit of a hypocrite on that one.  :-X

If a person needs food stamps, they do not need expensive, non-nutritional fast food... my opinion, maybe MickyD's is really nutritious and i didn't know it...

That is rather interesting that a person who makes less than me can go out to eat significantly more often than I can if they have food stamps. Not that I want to end up as an unhealthy blimp, but it would be nice to go out once in a while.

You can find me on Youtube!

I saw a post on Facebook today that made me pretty happy.

3 states have started making it mandatory to for someone who is applying for welfare to take a drug test. (Florida, Kentucky, and Missouri). I absolutely approve this!

What does everyone else think?

Foodstamps are meant to help the needy. Mcdonalds  also accepts foodstamps. We the taxpayers are footing the bill for this. The us is going bancrupt what are they going to do when there are no foodstamps. Are we going to turn into a country like ethiopia? Our government needs to wake up. Dont keep giving these people the right to sit on their butts and help bleed our economy dry.

The homeless could get a lot more food if they bought it and prepared it themselves at home.

What home?  They're homeless.
One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

stamps for fast food is not a good idea. that is not what it was intended for  and would not last if spent that way.

I think if they allowed people to buy fast food with their foodstamp card, they'll never cook and they'll never have no real food in their refridgerator. :'(

Yeah, that comment does kind of make you wonder.  Presumably, they might have a can of Sterno, or be able to build a small fire next to the cardboard box they sleep in under the bridge.

Presumably, it also includes some wifi or, "homeless hotspots" connection as well.
